Privacy
At Football Express, we strongly believe in protecting the confidentiality and security of information we collect about individuals. This document outlines our privacy policy and describes how we treat the information we receive about you if you interact with any of our sites.
Why We Need to Know About You
We collect information about you to provide you with information on products and services and to better target our sports content to your interests. This information includes your address, age, and preferences.
How We Learn About You
We primarily collect information directly from you, but we may also gather additional information from other sources to ensure accuracy and completeness.

Your Right to Opt Out
At the point of data collection, you can choose to “opt in” or “opt out” of receiving promotional and/or marketing information about other products, services, and offerings from group companies and/or third parties. Even if you opt out of promotional information, we may still contact you regarding account status, changes to our service agreement, and other relevant matters. You can opt out of further promotional contacts at any time, and all promotional emails will provide this option. Upon request, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to delete your personal information from our database, although some residual information may remain due to backups and records of deletions.
